13 OVERVIEW OF THE RULES MODERNIZATION INITIATIVE: GOALS, CHANGES AND PROCESS FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN 2019 Over the past few weeks we worked through the detail of the new rules for Below is summary of these new rules. We will keep this as a fixture of the newsletter until the end of January 2019 so that we can all familiarize ourselves with the rules. a. When Things Happen to Your Ball in Play (1) Ball at Rest Accidentally Moves Accidentally moving your ball while searching for it: There is no longer a penalty. Accidentally moving your ball or ball-marker when it is on the putting green: There is no longer a penalty. New standard for deciding if you caused your ball to move: You will be found to have caused your ball to move only if that is known or virtually certain (that is, it is at least 95% likely that you were the cause). (2) Replacing a Moved or Lifted Ball New procedure when you don t know the exact spot where your ball was at rest: You must replace the ball on its estimated original spot (rather than drop the ball at that spot); and if the estimated spot was on, under or against growing, attached or fixed objects (such as grass), you must replace the ball on, under or against those objects.

14 (3) Ball in Motion Accidentally Deflected Your ball in motion accidentally hits you, your equipment, your caddie, someone attending the flagstick for you or a removed or attended flagstick: There is no longer a penalty (such as when your ball bounces off a bunker face and hits you). (4) Ball is Struck More Than Once Accidentally hitting your ball more than once during a stroke: There is no longer a penalty. b. Taking Relief (1) Dropping a Ball in a Defined Relief Area New dropping procedure: You must drop the ball from knee height.

15 Defined relief area: The ball needs to be dropped in and played from a single required relief area (whereas today, although you are required to drop a ball in one area, it can roll outside that area and the Rules may require it to be played from outside the area). Longest club is used to measure the relief area: You use the longest club in your bag, other than a putter, to measure the relief area. (2) Lost Ball Reduced time for ball search: A ball is lost if not found in three minutes (rather than the current five minutes) after you begin searching for it. (3) Embedded Ball Relief for embedded ball in the general area: You may take relief if your ball is embedded anywhere (except in sand) in the general area (which is the new term for through the green ), except where a Local Rule restricts relief to the fairway or similar areas (this reverses the default position in the current Rules).

16 (4) Ball to Use in Taking Relief Substituting another ball: You may continue to use the original ball or another ball, whenever you take either free relief or penalty relief under a Rule. c. Specific Rules for Specific Areas of the Course (1) Putting Green Putting with flagstick left in the hole: There is no longer a penalty if you play a ball from the putting green and it hits the unattended flagstick in the hole. Repairing damage on the putting green: You may repair almost all damage (including shoe damage, such as spike marks, and animal damage) on the putting green (rather than being limited to repairing only ball-marks or old hole plugs).

17 Touching your line of putt or touching the putting green in pointing out target: There is no longer a penalty if you or your caddie does either of these things, so long as doing so does not improve the conditions affecting your stroke. Replacing your ball if it moves only after you had already marked, lifted and replaced it: Any time this happens on the putting green, you replace the ball on its spot even if it was blown by the wind or moved for no clear reason. Your caddie marks and lifts your ball on the putting green: There is no longer a penalty if your caddie does this without your specific authorization to do so. (2) Penalty Areas Penalty areas expanded beyond water hazards: Red- and yellowmarked penalty areas may now cover areas the Committee decides to mark for this purpose (such as deserts, jungles, or lava rock fields), in addition to areas of water. Expanded use of red penalty areas: Committees are given the discretion to mark all penalty areas as red so that lateral relief is always allowed (but they may still mark penalty areas as yellow where they consider it appropriate). Elimination of opposite side relief option: You are no longer allowed to take relief from a red penalty area on the opposite side from where the ball last entered the penalty area (unless a Committee adopts a Local Rule allowing it). Removal of all special restrictions on moving or touching things in a penalty area: There is no longer a penalty if you touch or move loose impediments (such as leaves, stones and sticks) or touch the ground or water with your hand or your club in a penalty area.

18 (3) Bunkers Removal of special restrictions on moving loose impediments: There is no longer a penalty if you touch or move loose impediments in a bunker. Relaxed restrictions on touching the sand with your hand or club when your ball is in a bunker: You are now prohibited only from touching the sand (1) with your hand or club to test the condition of the bunker, (2) with your club in the area right behind or in front of the ball or (3) when making a practice swing or the backswing for your stroke. New unplayable ball relief option: For two penalty strokes, you may take relief outside the bunker by dropping a ball back on the line from the hole through where your ball was at rest in the bunker. d. Equipment You are Allowed to Use (1) Damaged Clubs Use of damaged clubs: You may keep using any club that is damaged during the round, no matter how it happens (for example, even if you damaged it in anger). Replacement of damaged clubs: You may not replace a damaged club, unless you were not responsible for causing the damage. (2) Damaged Ball Substituting another ball for a cut or cracked ball: You may substitute another ball if your ball in play on a hole has become cut or cracked while playing that hole; but you are no longer allowed to change balls solely because the ball has become out of shape.

19 (3) Distance-Measuring Devices DMDs allowed: You may use DMDs to measure distance, except when prohibited by Local Rule (this reverses the default position in the current Rules). e. How You Prepare for and Make a Stroke Expanded restriction on caddie help with alignment: Your caddie is not allowed to stand on a line behind you from the time you begin taking your stance until you have made your stroke. f. Promoting Faster Pace of Play Encouraging you to play promptly: It is recommended that you make each stroke in no more than 40 seconds and usually more quickly than that once it s your turn to play. Playing out of turn in stroke play ( ready golf ): This has always been allowed without penalty, and now you are affirmatively encouraged to do so in a safe and responsible way for convenience or to save time. New alternative form of stroke play: The Rules recognize a new Maximum Score form of stroke play, where your score for a hole is capped at a maximum (such as double par or triple bogey) set by the Committee, so that you can pick up and move to the next hole when your score will be at or above the maximum. Other changes to help pace of play: Reduced time to search for a ball, allowing committees to designate penalty areas (currently called water hazards) for areas that don t contain water and to mark all penalty areas as red (so that lateral relief is always allowed) if they choose to do so, the simplified dropping procedure, and the option to leave the flagstick in the hole when putting.

20 g. Insisting on High Standards of Conduct and Trusting Player Integrity Playing in the spirit of the game: New provisions are added to reinforce the high standards of conduct expected from all players on the course and the Committee s discretion to disqualify players for serious misconduct. Code of player conduct: Committees are given authority to adopt their own code of player conduct and to set penalties for the breach of standards in that code. Elimination of need to announce intent to lift ball: When you have good reason to lift your ball to identify it, to see if it is cut or cracked or to see if you are entitled to relief (such as to see if the ball is embedded), you are no longer required first to announce to another player or your marker that you intend to do so or to give that person an opportunity to observe the process. Reasonable judgment standard: When you need to estimate or measure a spot, point, line, area or other location under a Rule, your reasonable judgment will not be second-guessed based on later evidence (such as video review) if you did all that could reasonably be expected under the circumstances to estimate or measure accurately.
